Can I Hire A Car With An Additional Driver?

The Additional Driver Issue

Unfortunately some car rental companies won’t allow for you to add an additional driver to your policy, which can be a pain if you want to share the driving.

Answer

Yes, as long as they meet the restrictions of that the main driver also has, for example a lot of companies require that you must have been driving for two years prior to hiring and have no major motoring convictions such as a DR10 or IN10.

Depending on the supplier there can be an extra daily cost associated with this, but there are several suppliers which offer it completely free for just one secondary driver. You need to make them aware of this in the booking process as they may have to adjust the price accordingly.
